First Of All, What In This World

I Am Very Fortunate I Can Send My Kids To Private School, But Everybody Does Not Have The Money. If You Cannot Get Your Kid In A Good School Today, Your Kids Are Going To Be Behind The Eight Ball.

People Sometimes Forget All The Films That We've Done. They Remember The Likes Of 'malcolm X' And 'do The Right Thing.' But I've Been Working Since 1986. From The Beginning, I Was Determined To Not Just Be A Flash In The Pan. I've Got To Keep Up With Woody Allen. He's Lapping Me.

I Used The Principles Of Kickstarter To Make 'she's Gotta Have It.' We Filmed That In 1985 To 1986. The Final Cost Was $175,000. I Didn't Have That Money. It Was Friends, Grants, Donations. We Saved Our Bottles For The Nickel Deposit.

Surprises Are Good. I'm Not Of The Thinking Where You Tell The Audience Everything. Sometimes I Don't Even Want To See The Trailers. You See The Trailer, You've Seen The Movie.

It Has Been My Observation That Parents Kill More Dreams Than Anybody.
